The project’s EPC contractor, Else Enerji, says it selected
the Q.PRO modules after testing six different suppliers, ultimately settling on
Q-Cells based on their “superior quality and longevity”.

The 500kW installation was built atop a steel factory owned
by Prokon AS near the Turkish capital of Ankara, and commissioned this week.

The system will provide 40% of the plant’s electricity requirements,
while acting as a “reference” for future self-consumption projects in the “fast
developing” Turkish market, says Q-Cells, which was acquired last year after
stumbling into bankruptcy by Korea’s Hanwha.

After a relatively dry spell following its bankruptcy,
business appears to be picking up again for Q-Cells under the aegis of Hanwha,
which also owns Chinese PV manufacturer SolarOne.

The Turkey announcement follows on news earlier this week
that Thalheim-baed Q-Cells won an order to supply an 82MW PV plant in Japan,
that country’s largest.
